Automatic activation1)
The parking aid is activated automatically when the vehicle approaches an obstacle from a distance of approx. 90 cm at speeds below 10 km/h. You will hear the warning beeps when the obstacle is within a distance of approx. 50 cm. If the parking aid is switched off manually, it is only reactivated automatically if the vehicle has been driven at 10 km/h or more since the parking aid was switched off.
Segments in the graphic display
On vehicles with parking system plus*, you can estimate the distance to an obstacle by referring to the segments shown at the front and rear of the vehicle Fig. 72►. The red lines indicate the anticipated path of the vehicle, depending on the steering wheel angle. A white segment indicates an obstacle that has been detected beyond the path of travel. Red segments represent objects detected within the path of travel. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move towards the vehicle in the graphic. At the latest when the penultimate segment is highlighted the vehicle has reached the danger (collision) zone. Obstacles within the danger (collision) zone are shown in red, even if they are beyond the path of travel. Stop moving immediately ►, ►!
